When Crystal received the news that Anaya was having a gastric lavage in the hospital, she was shocked and quickly sat up from the sofa. “What about now? How is Anaya now?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Alan’s voice was very tired. “She’s still in the emergency room, but I want to ask you to come to the hospital. If… if she can be saved, I don’t think she wants to see me…”
Crystal pursed her lips and answered. After hanging up the phone, she stepped on her little rabbit slippers and went upstairs. She walked all the way into Harold’s study and said in a hurry, “Anaya is in the emergency room. I…”
Harold was talking on the phone when he saw her pale face. He paused and hung up after saying, “Wait a minute.” He walked over and wiped the cold sweat on Crystal’s forehead. “Why are you in such a hurry?”
Crystal said, “Alan said that Anaya is having a gastric lavage now, and the doctor said that she is unlikely to be saved… I have to go to the hospital.”
Harold frowned and squeezed her hand. It was icy cold.
“I’ll go with you,” Harold said. “Let’s go.”
“But your work…”
“It’s fine.” Harold held her hand and said, “If you go to the hospital and cry until you faint, do you think Alan will take care of you or Anaya?”
Crystal was speechless.
Crystal was a little dissatisfied and said, “I’m not that weak.”
Harold wiped the corners of her eyes with his thumb. “Why are you crying then?”
Crystal wiped his eyes. “I’m not crying!”
“Okay.” At this time, Harold was very easy to talk to. He said, “I was wrong.”
He took Crystal downstairs. Paul drove all the way to the hospital. Crystal found the emergency room according to the message sent by Alan. She saw him sitting alone on a bench, looking particularly lonely.
He was still wearing a well-built suit, but he seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant. “Master White, Miss Evans.” When Alan saw Harold, he was a little surprised, but it was only for a moment. At this time, he was no longer in the mood to pay attention to anything else. He just said in a panic, “Anaya has been in there for more than two hours… She hasn’t come out yet.” “Wouldn’t it only take a dozen minutes or half an hour to undergo gastric lavage?” Crystal’s voice was a little hoarse. “What’s going on?”
“She…” Alan wiped his face. “She ate a lot of benzodiazepine drugs, which are used for treating mental disorders, but a large amount would cause gastrointestinal bleed and will lead to a slow death…”
Crystal trembled and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Harold held her in his arms and patted her gently on the back. “Don’t worry.”
Crystal grabbed his arm, and her eyes were full of tears. “When I was a child, my neighbor, who treated me very well, went to the hospital to undergo gastric lavage because of drinking pesticide.
After that, she never came out again. I…”
Harold pulled her into his arms and said, “The situation is different. Don’t think of bad outcomes.”
He didn’t care about Anaya’s life or death at first, but when he saw Crystal’s tearful face, he frowned slightly. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with words to comfort her. “All is well that ends
well.”
Crystal didn’t make a sound when she cried. Her tears kept falling. “Ariel and Jared are still alive… Anaya won’t die!”
“Yeah.” Harold coaxed her. “She won’t.”
He coaxed Crystal in a gentle voice, but he looked up at Alan with a cold look in his eyes.
